Jazz is a form of modern dance. Its movements can be very unpredictable, either being slow and graceful or quick and abrupt with leaps and jumps. This dance class will teach flexibility, coordination, and strength while keeping the rhythm to a variety of music.

STREET JAZZ

Street Jazz is a combination of Jazz and Hip Hop. Combining the flexibility and flow of jazz, with its leaps and turns and mixing with the quick and deliberate moves from hip hop. This class will be challenging and fun.

HIP-HOP

Hip hop dance refers to a wide range of dance styles such as breaking, popping, locking and krumping. Hip hop involves a lot of free style moves and is practiced both in a dance studio as well as on the street. It is physically challenging with its quick, intentional moves but is very rewarding. We have guys who are on this dance team and love to pop and lock. This class will keep you current with the latest dance moves and keep you cool on the dance floor.

TAP

Tap dancers are known to wear a special shoe with metal plates on the sole. Tap dancers tend to be lighter on their feet while dancing out the melody of a song. Many different types of music can be used for tap.

CLOGGING

Forget what you have heard about wooden shoes and hair buns. Clogging is a fast paced dance and has a lot of similarities to tap, but has a different style. Tap dancers tend to be lighter on their feet and tap out the melody. Clogging is a heavier sound and taps out the beat. Our shoes consist of a metal double tap instead of a single tap to emphasize the sounds of our feet. We dance to country, pop, hip hop and more.

BALLET

Ballet is one of the world’s most graceful dance styles. Our classes teach the basic techniques of traditional ballet. We can use a variety of music for our classes taking this style from classic to modern. We offer a pre-ballet class that will teach the very basics of the dance while allowing creative movement from each dancer. It is an introductory class that will help open the child’s eyes to the world of dance. Our ballet classes after this will teach more terminology, proper body technique while becoming stronger, more flexible and agile.
